Ishant impresses
The tall and lanky pacer has been in the twilight of his career. With a spectacular pool of pacers around him, Ishant emerged as the standout performer. Picking 5/22 and 4/56, he registered a splendid nine-wicket haul at home. This was his second five-wicket haul in India. The first came against Pakistan 12 years ago.

Umesh on fire
Displaying his fortitude with the ball, Umesh Yadav was on a roll as he managed to get a fifer in the second innings. He picked all the three remaining wickets on Day Three as Bangladesh failed to clear the deficit.
And, that's a 4-wkt haul for @y_umesh 👏👏

Bangladesh decimated
No one expected the visitors to defeat India but the way they were tormented was really painful to watch for any Bangladeshi fan. While the first Test spanned over three days, the final one didn't even last a single session on Day 3.
India win their first pink-ball Test!

World Test Championship
India's dominance in the World Test Championship can be clearly reflected in the points table. With 360 points in their kitty, they have also achieved three whitewashes in a row in the WTC. As for Bangladesh, their confidence seems shaken a bit and they'll have to rejuvenate themselves before their next challenge.
This is #TeamIndia's 7 straight Test win in a row, which is our longest streak 🙌💪😎#PinkBallTest @Paytm pic.twitter.com/Lt2168Qidn
